Blair as Pontius Pilate

by cassandra05 @ 07/04/07 - 01:51:10

The Independent's Matthew Norman hits the nail squarely on the head:

There are 20 children with diagnosed or suspected HIV in Britain, of whom Damisani was first in line, due to be deported by the nation to which we refer so often as the fourth richest on earth that the phrase has become a cliché. Martin Narey, who now heads Barnado's, used it when speaking of Dumisani's future in Malawi: a future guaranteed to consist of watching first his mother and then his father die, and then - with no living relative to care for him - of dying himself, through hunger and neglect if not of Aids. ...

This is a moral issue so straightforward that it brooks no debate. Whether you, like Mr Blair, are a follower of Jesus, of another deity, or of none, you cannot believe it is anything but an act of simple wickedness knowingly to send children to their deaths.
